WoW is the Right Word!!!!

You know what this episode is about, Bomb up CTU and of course, the usual prediction is to doubt that this will eventually happen, however this was not the Case.

All the attention is centered in this, even Kim is tied to CTU event, since she is looking for protection. Jack did is work trying a phone call to the president to prevent this, however lynne thought that would blow Jack cover, and he decided without Palmer orders to sacrifice CTU, in order to find the Bomb.Mason escape plot didn´t end well for him, since we learn that he will.....KAte Family plot continues to be boring.Overral a very tense episode, well tied and with a great Finale.moreless

Wow episode

Oh.. This episode really nailed it all. First the bomb threat what becomes more and more serious with every minute and second. The way Jack just has to look how noone does nothing as Palmer's administration is plotting on their own and when he learns, it is already too late. That telephone guy and he attacking Jack, it was also great, showing that it is just not "do as Jack says". And the minutes before explosion in CTU...Paula in the last minutes getting the encryption trough and Tony up there.. hoping best for him..And ofcourse George.. he was not a char I liked first season but the way he has been acting now.. I think he really redempts himself. And Kim and Megan.. oh...moreless

Oh my, and it's only the third episode!!

This episode is fantastic and because its only the third episode, this season is looking to be very promising. It doesn't fail to impress me after the amazing ending of the previous episode.

They are going to bomb up CTU!! 'Hmm... yeah whatever. Its obvious Jack will find a way to stop them.' However, thats not the case. But seriously, there was nothing else Jack could do to stop the bomb. He attempted to inform the president; he cut the back of his head open; he let the hostage escape. I particulary liked the scene when Kim rang Jack and he had to maintain his cover while he was talking to her. I felt sorry for him, poor Jack!!The situation between Lynne and Eric is very good in this episode as they attempt to deal with the situation regarding the possible bombing of CTU. What Eric did only made me hate him even more when he rang CTU without even warning them about the bomb.The moment when the countdown reaches zero and the bomb explodes is very well done. I really hope that Tony would be okay!! When he ran up the stairs to grab Paula was very brave.But it doesn't end there... At the end we find out that George has inhaled a high dose of radiation poisoning and that he'd be dead by the end of the day! The poor man looked like his puppy had just been put down lol.Quote of the hour! George Mason: "Not even gonna buy me dinner?"moreless
